SABnzbd Forums

Hello community,

as i am using sabnzbd now for a while i have had some issues over the time.
one main issue is that from time to time if a nzb is not being able to finish the download process is just stucked.
On my screenshot you can see what i mean, in one picture there are just some parts missing but it is not downloading it nor stoping to try and is stuck like this forever - on the other screenshot the same has happend for a nzb which is clearly impossible to download with my providers but it is just not stopping it or anything.

in nzbget there was an option to just start post-processing. for my "green" download it should be possible to post-process the download and adding additional par2 files to repair the missing parts - but i didnt find any solution to handle those downloads in sabnzbd besides to just delete them.

is there any - already implemented - possibility to make this work?
Besides that, an option to actually fully delete and redownload an NZB would be really good.

Edit:
After searching the forum again i found this postings:

Meaning that post processing could be forced by selecting priority "stop" - didnt tried it yet. But if it is like this, it would be the solution ofc - IF sabnzbd is intelligent enough to download needed par2 files in this process.
never the less its far away from being intuitive then.

Yes, set it to Stop.
Also, enable Debug logging and investigate the logs. I think some of your servers are unreliable and causing all this slowdown. If you mark them as Optional in the Servers Config you can prevent this.
